My Riffs

Those in your care, draw them in. You’re effectiveness is in how much of an affect you can make on people. 

Who are your fellows?  Who they are matters as much as almost any other choice you’ll make. 

We love to complain. In many ways, there’s never been a time in history where people had it easier.  Yet we complain to much.  It could be worse, much worse. Probably isn’t much of a reason to actually be complaining. 

Give thanks for every good thing. Give thanks for all the bad things that you've avoided. Someone always has it worse off than you. Give thanks for that.

Make space. We don’t have to push out every person who has a different perspective. Make space for them. You won’t convert someone to a better idea without making space for them to feel safe enough to change their mind. 

Be good. So often we want to respond to ugliness with ugliness. But be good. Don’t perpetuate hate.  Do good. Be good. Do the right thing. Always.
